Treasure Island
If you’re looking for gold, beware of Silver. The ultimate tale of greed, betrayal and treasure: when pirates were really pirates.
We were tasked with creating a campaign that would appeal to fans of the classic tale and a new, younger audience too. Everyone loves a baddie and with Eddie Izzard staring as Long John Silver we focused the campaign around the villainous character, also hooking in Eddie’s fans.
The campaign pulled in over 2 million viewers in the first week. The second highest rating drama ever for the channel.
The press and posters carried secret treasure of their own in the form of behind the scenes and exclusive content which was accessed either via a QR code or the Aurasma app.
